Liverpool v Everton!

Liverpool and Everton face an all-Merseyside FA Cup showdown next month after being drawn out together in Monday evening’s third-round draw.

The pair, who last met in the tournament in the 2012 semi-final which Liverpool won 2-1, will play each other at Anfield on the weekend beginning January 5.

Non-league Hereford will welcome 2016 Premier League champions Leicester to Edgar Street provided they win their replay against Fleetwood.

Premier League leaders Manchester City are at home to Burnley, while potential upsets include West Ham’s trip to League One high-flyers Shrewsbury, and Championship leaders Wolves at home to ailing Swansea.

Beeb and ITV strike a deal

The BBC will show England’s opening two games of next summer’s World Cup after details of the coverage split with ITV were confirmed on Monday.

Gareth Southgate’s men begin their campaign against Tunisia in Volgograd on June 16, followed by facing Panama in Nizhny Novgorod on June 24.

ITV will show England’s final group game against Belgium in Kaliningrad four days later.

ITV will have priority for both the last 16 and the semi-finals, and the BBC will have first pick of quarter-finals, while both broadcasters will show the final.

The commercial broadcaster confirmed last month that Gary Neville will join their line-up of pundits which will also include Ryan Giggs, Ian Wright and Lee Dixon.

The BBC is yet to officially reveal its team but it is sure to be headed by Gary Lineker and former Newcastle star Alan Shearer.

Nottingham Forest great Brian Clough would have “revelled” in playing mind games with some of the biggest managers in today’s game.

Frank Clark, the man who replaced Clough in charge at the City Ground, and who was part of his double European Cup-winning team, says none of the current Premier League managerial heavyweights can be seen as the former Reds boss’ heir.
